Police shoot, kill pit bull attacking boy in Englewood

A pit bull attack injured two people on Chicago's South Side. A police officer had to shoot and kill the animal.

Two people were injured in separate attacks involving the same dog.

It happened in the city's Englewood community.

Early Wednesday morning, a pit bull attacked a teenage high school student and a 63-year-old man. They were treated and released from the hospital. Both said that it was a frightening experience.

"It bit my leg. It attacked my leg," said 16-year-old Tyrell Henry.

The Irving Prep High School student was released from the hospital after being attacked by a pit bull while he was walking to school in the 5900-block of S. Stewart in Englewood. Henry suffered puncture wounds to his lower right leg and right foot. He now has to use crutches and cannot put any pressure on the leg.
